Apple Testing LLM Siri With ChatGPT-Like App

[Tagbert]

I still don't get why people think Apple needs to or even should build a chatbot. I do not want to converse with my phone or computer; I want to tell it to do something and for it to just do the thing I told it to do.

That is just a short conversation. An LLM chat interface gives you more control over the request to Siri and let's Siri ask clarifying questions as well as answer. You don't have to use it as a cheap therapist.

We don't need a chatbot from apple.

We need better siri.

Example: I use warp terminal, which has AI built in. It'll do things like give you correct command syntax from english query, like "download audio only best format from youtube". The other day, I was trying to switch audio device through the terminal and failed. It jumped in and said "looks like you're trying to switch audio device and command failed b/c device couldn't be found. Let me run the command to list the devices... I see the problem. There's a trailing space in the device name. You didn't include it, here's the correct command." I would've been banging my head against the wall with that one.

Obviously, something like that would be much harder with a gui. But that's the sort of thing apple could do when they have complete control of the system and access to your data.

That sounds like a specialized chatbot

They should just creep the update into the Siri that we are using now and see how’s the outcome since the expectation will be low because it’s Siri. 😅

Waiting to see all the improvements Apple is planning on bringing to Siri/Apple Intelligence. Don't think it will happen all together. But really wish that in the near future it will be way better than how it is now.

It can hardly be worse.

Test until it's good. All of these LLM apps are beta at best tbh. They are wrong the whole time about everything. Confidently so.

The irony.

The irony.

The irony of what.

Curious about the relationship between Apple Intelligence and iCloud. Amongst many things, will some features/functionality be limited to iCloud users? What about storage? Will we need to increase storage dramatically to account for things like LLM memory?
